In 2016, Rolling Stone called it the numberonegreatest TV show in history, and anybody who’s ever seen an episode surely knows that The Sopranos is undoubtably one of the most intriguing and layered shows of all-time.
Its creator, David Chase, has been light on supplemental work to accompany the series - besides a one-offHBOforced PS2 video game back in 2006 where you’d take over as the son of the late Sal “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on his quest to join Tony Soprano’s crew, the entirety of the shows' universe exists solely within the six seasons aired on HBO.
Of course though as we all know, that’s about to change with the release of The Many Saints of Newark on October 1. The film acts as a prequel to The Sopranos and an origin story for Tony as he learns the ropes of the mob via Dickie Moltisanti, the father of Sopranos co-lead Christopher.
Who will play young Tony Soprano?
In case you’re wondering who could ever fill the legendary shoes of James Gandolfini and his once-in-a-generation performance, it’s none other than the actors' son himself, Michael Gandolfini who’ll sit in the starring role as the teenage Tony S.
As for Christopher Moltisanti’s father Dickie, that role will be played by Alessandro Nivola, known for his roles in American Hustle and A Most Violent Year.
The film will also feature performances by acclaimed mob actor Ray Liotta, Academy Award nominee Vera Farmiga, and Hamilton star Leslie Odom Jr.
